Hi, Twitter! This is the new official account for the Black Lives Matter Los Angeles Youth Vanguard team @DocMellyMel @BLMLA

[Rowaida Abdelaziz @Rowaida_Abdel]

I wrote about the grim reality when it comes to anti-Muslim programs. Bloomberg won't apologize for NYPD surveillance because no other politician ever has. For years, politicians implemented Islamophobic programs. None apologized. No one held accountable. https://t.co/OcWskcljGg

Being a white savior will not end gun violence and neither will white fragility.

[To Disrupt and Observe @disruptobserve]

Covert racism can be more egregious and dangerous than blatant racism #BlackLivesMatter  #womensmarchsowhite #covertracism @BLMLA @LACANetwork @WP4BL @DocMellyMel

[#BlackLivesMatterLA @BLMLAYOUTH]

@MFOLDC did an amazing job of uplifting the everyday struggles of black and brown women. Thank you for your solidarity with @BLMLA and @DMVBlackLives

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

“Your activism may be for fun, mine is for survival”

Powerful words from

@MFOLDC Co-Director and DC native Helisa Cruz

We’re heading into this long weekend like Reema of @MovementVote! Our votes are for #BLM, #immigrants and #ourstreets always. Join the #MyMuslimVote campaign at https://t.co/GHceNEC5Lr!

[#BlackLivesMatterLA @BLMLAYOUTH]

This is solidarity.

[ACLU SoCal @ACLU_SoCal]

@womensmarch @wmnsmarchla UPDATE: In solidarity with @BLMLA, we will no longer have a booth at Women's March LA as previously planned. Stay tuned for future opportunities to learn about & engage w/ our work, including the crucial police & jails accountability work we do w/ BLM-LA.

[Hannah @ Storacha @techgirlwonder]

Two years ago, a coalition of groups sent the following letter to @wmnsmarchla . Since it's clearly fallen on utterly deaf years with the exclusion of @BLMLA , I figure might as well make it public: https://t.co/ZXjyy2nu3N

Women's March be like, "Yeah, we're making spaces for Black Women to participate, but only for our paid consultants and don't exhibit policy stances that may be too extreme for our tastes!"

Same group that accused those who defend Palestinian women and girls of antisemitism. 😑

[#BlackLivesMatter-LA @BLMLA]

Thank you @LAProgressive for publishing our official statement about being excluded from this year’s #WomensMarch. @wmnsmarchla @BLMLAYOUTH @Blklivesmatter @DMVBlackLives @AF3IRM #BlackLivesMatter #AntiBlackness

[#BlackLivesMatterLA @BLMLAYOUTH]

We want to remind you all of the horrific attacks on our co-founder @thethandi_way 2 years ago by @wmnsmarchla. She was 14 years old.

[#BlackLivesMatterLA @BLMLAYOUTH]

Yes, it’s an outrage. Be mad.

[#BlackLivesMatter-LA @BLMLA]

#BlackLivesMatter was excluded from the #WomensMarch this year. Maybe they should rebrand themselves the #WhiteWomensMarch. @wmnsmarchla

[#BlackLivesMatterLA @BLMLAYOUTH]

Outrageous

[#BlackLivesMatter-LA @BLMLA]

An investigation confirms what we already knew. LAPD has been fabricating information and putting innocent Black and Brown folks in gang databases as a result of racist police stops.
Demands coming soon...

America is not a melting pot—
It’s an extremely segregated salad held in a bowl build of institutionalized injustice, violence and genocide.

It’s time for us to toss the salad and abolish the bowl.

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

Saying white men that kill people to make a political statement are mentally ill is a great way to avoid talking about white nationalist terrorism.

Racism is not a mental illness, it’s a learned habit

[#BlackLivesMatter-LA @BLMLA]

.@BLMLAYOUTH’s @thandiwezarai talks about what it means to be a Black girl organizer on the #DayOfTheGirl.

[#BlackLivesMatterLA @BLMLAYOUTH]

Period. This is REAL intersectionality. If you can’t get with it you’re not really with the movement.

[Melina Abdullah @DocMellyMel]

Last week police in Los Angeles shot 5 people, killing 4 of them, including #RyanTwyman and #EdtwonStamps. June 6th was one of the most horrific days in terms of police violence, but it’s not an anomaly. It’s part of a #CowboyCulture that defines LA policing. @BLMLA

[#BlackLivesMatterLA @BLMLAYOUTH]

@davidhogg111 thank you for this

[#BlackLivesMatterLA @BLMLAYOUTH]

They would love for us to believe that Nipsey’s death was an act of gang violence. We know the truth.

[Melina Abdullah @DocMellyMel]

And we’re supposed to believe that someone was able to walk up to @NipseyHussle in broad daylight, in his own store with state-of-the-art security cameras, shoot him six times...three in the dead center of his head, in a congested ass part of town, and get away? #Conspiracy
